Iron Whetblade

A whetblade that opens up three physical affinities when applying Ashes of War at a Site of Grace:

  • Heavy: boosts Strength scaling, lowers base damage and removes Dexterity scaling.
  • Keen: boosts Dexterity scaling, lowers base damage and Strength scaling.
  • Quality: balances Strength and Dexterity scaling, with lower base damage.

Useful early for most melee builds.
